The Unequal Load in ADHD Partnerships with Dusty Chipura

Navigating relationships is already challenging—but when ADHD gets added to the mix, emotional labor, communication breakdowns, and resentment can quietly build up over time.
In this session, we are joined by Dusty Chipura—Master-Certified ADHD Coach and doula—to explore the unequal domestic load in ADHD partnerships. Dusty shares insights on why "trying harder" doesn't always fix relationship struggles, the role of gender dynamics, how emotional labor shows up, and practical tools to build healthier, more equal partnerships.

This event was hosted by the Men’s ADHD Support Group, a nonprofit dedicated to providing resources and community for men and masc-aligned individuals with ADHD.
